An attractive example of this important work which significantly advanced European understanding of the geography and peoples of the Pacific. For his last Voyage Cook was ordered to seek a North-West Passage and to return Omai to Tahiti. From Cape Horn they sailed to the Kerguelens named Desolation Island by Cook Tasmania and New Zealand charting and mapping all the way then north discovering the Hawaiian Islands which Cook considered his most valuable discovery and Christmas Island. Cook charted the American West Coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait to 70 deg. 44’ N. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an "unhappy skirmish" with the natives over a boat. Also on board were James Burney William Bligh James Colnett and George Vancouver who all made their own great contributions to navigation and discovery. The present work resulting from their voyage is “arguably the single most important book on the hawaiian islands that documents all aspects of Hawaiian culture at the point of discovery by Europeans… and is in fact one of the most important English books published in the last quarter of the eighteenth century†Forbes. “Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to Western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of Antarctic land in the southern ice ring a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century†PMM. Printed by H. Hughs, for G. Nicol, Bookseller to His Majesty, in the Strand; and T. Cadell, in the Strand hardcover

Text: engraved medallion vignettes on titles 1 folding letterpress table. Atlas: 87 engraved plates plans maps and charts 1 folding 1 double-page and including the 24 small format plates usually found in the text here on unfolded full sheets. Extra-illustrated with very rare and possibly unique impressions of the 24 engraved plates on wove paper watermarked 1801 bound into the text. Original paper-covered boards expertly rebacked to style with contemporary brown paper. All contained within dark blue morocco-backed boxes.<br/> <br/> A fine unsophisticated set of the third edition of the third voyage with the plates in their most desirable form: all the plates usually found in the text volumes are here bound unfolded and uncut in the atlas volume. In addition this set extra-illustrated with a duplicate set of those plates being unrecorded 1801 impressions on wove paper.<br/> <br/> "The famous accounts of Captain Cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of Pacific books. In three great voyages Cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together. He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge . Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return the islander Omai to Tahiti. Officers of the crew included William Bligh James Burney James Colnett and George Vancouver. John Webber was appointed artist to the expedition. After calling at Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society Islands the expedition sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44 minutes before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives over a boat. Charles Clarke took command and after he died six months later the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite hostilities with the United States and France the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture. The voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" Hill. The typography of the third edition is similar to the second edition which is generally considered superior to the first: Hughs took over the printing from Strahan and re-set all the text. In addition the third edition includes the first appearance of William Wales's "A Defence of the Arguments advanced in the introduction to Captain Cook's last Voyage against the existence of Cape Circumcision" vol.III pp.557-564. This fine set in boards comprises the rarest and most desirable form of the third voyage with the 24 plates intended for the text volumes to be bound uncut and unfolded into the atlas. Thus plates which are generally severely trimmed close or into the image to fit into the text are here on full sheets with wide margins. An early owner of this set however has extra-illustrated his text with early 19th century impressions of those plates. This issue of the duplicate set of plates appears unrecorded being on wove paper watermarked 1801. That the plates were added is confirmed by the fact that the plates are tipped-in rather than sewn or guarded into the text.<br/> <br/> Cf. Beddie 1543; cf.

The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century" Printing and the Mind of Man p.135. "The success of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition described in the present work which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents . the men of this expedition became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. Further visits were made to New Zealand and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island the Marquesas Tahiti and the Society Islands Niue the Tonga Islands the New Hebrides New Caledonia Norfolk Island and a number of smaller islands. Rounding Cape Horn on the last part of the voyage Cook discovered and charted South Georgia after which he called at Cape Town St. Helena and Ascension and the Azores . This voyage produced a vast amount of information concerning the Pacific peoples and islands proved the value of the chronometer as an aid to finding longitude and improved techniques for preventing scurvy" Hill p.123 "This the official account of the second voyage was written by Cook himself . In a letter dated June 22nd 1776 to his friend Commodore William Wilson Cook writes: - "The Journal of my late Voyage will be published in the course of the next winter and I am to have the sole advantage of the sale. It will want those flourishes which Dr. Hawkesworth gave the other but it will be illustrated and ornamented with about sixty copper plates which I am of the opinion will exceed every thing that has been done in a work of this kind; . As to the Journal it must speak for itself. I can only say that it is my own narrative ."' Holmes pp.35-36.<br/> <br/> Beddie 1217; cf. Hill 2004 358; cf. Holmes 24; cf.
